a lot of words saying not much
Cool story bro. Nice Trumpesque sign off.
So here's the thing;
The only logical fallacy at work here is called "proving a negative".
I can't
prove that the only people who use the term "Thanksgiving" are Amcericans, or talking to or about Americans. And I didn't bring up the initial claim.
If its so common for unamerican media talking about unamerican events to other unamericans - it should be
real fucking easy to make me look ignorant by providing a single link to such a common occurence.
I mean, you're claiming its common, right? It just means "End of November" now?
So put up or shut up.
Meanwhile a business facing website runs a story about "Thanksgiving sales" and felt zero editorial compunction to clarify that it was
not talking about "The Day We Offer Gratitudes" in a fishing village in bumfuckistan or other "common" misunderstandings, and PAL charts came out with zero mentions of "Thanksgiving".
What holidays do you have during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
UKs biggest sales periods are Easter Bank Holiday weekend and Boxing Day.
The lead up to Christmas is just called "December".
We have "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" because Amazon imported them a few years back and other shops followed suit, but its not a longstanding thing, and its referred to exactly as the import name suggest - Black Friday and Cyber Monday, because thats what the importers called it.
